haruharu wonder Black Rice Triple AHA Cleansing Gel

Overview

A gel facial cleanser from HARUHARU built around fermented black rice and fermented bamboo shoots with AHA exfoliation, sized at 3.38 fl oz and formulated vegan, unscented and paraben free.

This is a cleanser first, not a leave-on treatment: it's tagged for pore treatment, blackhead removal, even toning and shine control, functions typically handled during the wash step. The triple AHA naming plus fermented rice and bamboo shoot extracts point to gentle chemical exfoliation layered onto a standard gel cleanse, with hyaluronic acid and safflower seed oil included to offset the drying effect AHAs can have. It's also marked dermatologist tested and non GMO.

• 3.38 fl oz, unscented, vegan, paraben free
• Targets pores, blackheads, toning and shine

Who it's for

Fits people with combination, oily or blackhead-prone skin looking for a cleanser that exfoliates lightly during the wash step rather than a plain foaming cleanser. Also reasonable for sensitive skin given the unscented formulation, though sensitive users trying any AHA product should watch for irritation regardless of how gentle it's marketed.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

AHAs work by loosening the bonds between dead skin cells at the surface, and doing that during a rinse-off cleanse rather than a leave-on serum is inherently gentler since contact time is short. The inclusion of hyaluronic acid and safflower seed oil in a cleanser formula is meant to offset the exfoliation with some moisture retention.
